Goat Track Gully

Woke to more winds but walking in things were more pleasant than yesterday. We wanted a shorter route to take our time over today and ended up climbing a lean but icey Goat Track Gully at a pace where David and Tom could build belays and bring each other up. We had a few snow squalls during the day but all in all a lot more pleasant a day than it might have been. We saw little windslab around gully mouths where we were and much of the snow was iron hard. It was also icey enough to make Goat Track and Red Gullys secure as they are notoriously loose after a thaw.

About Me

I am a freelance Mountaineering Instructor working year round for myself. I am also an Associate Instructor at Glenmore Lodge and the Technical Advisor to a number of large Climbing Centres and Councils. In my time off its rock climbing in the summer, winter climbing in the the winter and mountaineering year round. I have also been lucky enough to take part in 25 Expeditions covering every continent and resulting in a dozen First Ascents of previously unclimbed peaks. My wife frequently reminds me that there is more to life than climbing and the mountains... its just soooo hard to remember sometimes :-)
